      1) A good fuse measures less than 1.0 ohms. Check it (highlighted in yellow).

      2) If the fuse is good, see if secondary DC voltages appear on the logic part of the board. There are 3 voltage regulators marked in red. Measure each pin except the tab with respect to cold ground (use a mounting screw).

      List the part number and DC voltage for each pin.

      3) If all DC voltages are 0.0 V DC, then measure the DC voltage across the legs of the 100uF 450 V cap (marked in blue). It should be 165 V DC if you are in North America.

      4) What is the DC voltage across the startup cap (circled in lime green)? Is it steady or fluctuating?

          This monitor and equivalents are notorious as unrepairable. The fools who designed the firmware save some operating parameters in program memory - the 8 pin IC with the paint dot next to the processor. Eventually the firmware gets corrupted, and the processor won't work. If the proper voltages are present on the processor end of the card, your only hope is finding a source of a chip with the firmware preloaded.

          For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

          Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

                  I there

                  I Have one of these to repair, check the mosfet, the resistors from the PWM IC. This is a common problem on this type of Power supplys.

                      Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
                      by keepread
                      Hi there!
                      Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
                      The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
                      Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

                      AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request

                      Hello Badcaps Community,

                      I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

                      The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

                      Dell thunderbolt firmware, extracted from dell firmware update exe. Padded to 1MB.

                      Some models have a choice of 2 different firmwares, it depends on the dell SKU.
                      The SKU is in brackets (****)

                      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                      by Bowline
                      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                      Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                      by DanPoka
                      I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                      Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                      This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...
